Sound Mixing is let's just say not the best and stream quality is only 720p. But I really liked when they did the solos for the 2nd team. Makes me want to see it live more and more.

Graduation anouncement from Mirai, Manami and Ruu
https://www.thecoinlockers.com/news/?id=303

 

So the 3 requested to graduate and after talking with the management was granted permission to graduate.
They will hold their last live on June 11 in this year's edition of Seishun Locker. Online Streaming is available but details will be announced on a later date.
https://www.thecoinlockers.com/news/?id=304

To be completely honest, I kinda expected something like this from Ruu and Naru-chan and I understand why they're doing it. The 2 is what I consider pure musicians and certainly not the idol type and you'll kinda see it as the group transition to their "idol" image, the other members were able to do it but not the 2. Mirai though, really surprised with her decision.

 

Yeah, that really, really sucks, especially - personally speaking - in the case of Ruu who I think is awesome. But I definitely understand - you know, as much as I like the group's songs I honestly really didn't like the transition into matching outfits etc so it figures some girls in the group feel the same way - they signed up to be in a band, not an idol group. I definitely miss the old vibe of the group and some of the old members - and I'll miss Ruu and Naru. Especially Ruu.

Good luck to them with whatever they do next, which hopefully will make them more satisfied creatively.

 

'o'
I was actually surprised that Naru and Ruu stayed, when they changed directions. To be hoenst I would not be surprise that the bosses made them an offer to stay, back then. Those two were part of a few that were carrying the group until now.
I wonder if they will try to recruit a new bass player.
But yeah, sad to see them go, especially Naru, only because she was one of the few I supported during the auditions. Pretty sure we will see or hear Naru and Ruu playing somewhere in the future. Drummers like Naru are really rare. if I was a warner manager, I would never let a drummer like her go.

Last gig as a 13 member project. Source: https://www.thecoinlockers.com/news/?id=304
The show will be streamed as well, but more details will be released on the 29th May 2021, as in tomorrow or in a few hours, depending on your timezone.
Just a wee prediction, they probably will end up as solid ~5 member band in the future, that is unless they start recruiting new members, which i doubt.

Gimetech next streamed show is on the 9th June 2021. Source: https://twitter.com/gimetech_41/status/1396425805480091648
Gig will be streamed on twitcasting, and is 2000JPY (+100JPY fee)

 

So basically now they are pretty much an idol group?

 

That is how they are being marketed as, since the big clear out.

By the way, the ticket for stream, last live performance with 13 members, is 5500 JPY!!! plus extra fees!!!
The management has to really think hard what they are doing. Bascially they are just banking on the loyal fanbase. In my opinion, they are pricing themselves out to attract new fans.
